But the most interesting storylines from the track and in the court room include the ongoing fight to get financial data from chartered teams Did Sign 2025 Charter Agreement. NASCAR 12 is demanding financial documents from 12 organizations which are not part of this bitter case) Kaulig racingWho came on his own agreement with the approved body).

On Monday, there were court filing that showed some communication between the legal representatives of both NASCAR and the teams. It outlined some of them that they want to achieve, including the following: NASCAR Cup (including the value of those investments) and documents to show financial investment in motor); Documents related to investment in each race team and/or their investment in other race teams; Documents show race, competition, competition, investing or otherwise showing the ability, disability, or interest to participate in any form of motor) beyond the NASCAR Cup; Documents related to the value of nascar charters; Documents that demonstrate costs, revenue, profits, sources of financing, return on investment, financial estimates, assessment, and other business plans that are relevant to their participation in the top levels of the game.
But the more interesting thing is that NASCAR wants very specific communication between teams and it is clear why. As part of his countersuit, they are claiming that the 23xi co-owner (and Michael Jordan’s longtime agent/business partner) plans to “threaten, force and exhale” most of the faults on Curtis Polk.
To help with it, they are asking (and it is an accurate quotation) “NASCAR events, meeting, press conferences, practice, qualifying, race, or promotion of promotion, resisting or disrupting all communications, including NASCAR documentary series including NASCAR documentary series.”
Last year, there was Rambling that some teams were considering not participating in the Netflix documentary, while negotiations around the 2025 Charter Agreement were going on, so that the requests came directly with those reports.

But all this came on one head in the court on Tuesday as oral arguments were heard from both sides. Motorsport.com was not present at the hearing, but accordingly AP NewsOne of the more interesting moments came when Judge Bell said: “I am amazed by everyone’s attempt to burn this house. But I am a fire marshal and I will stay here in December if needed.”
The test is scheduled to begin on December 1, which he was referring to. Attorney Adam Ross, who is representing Chartered Teams (beyond 23xi/FRM), expressed concern over this sensitive information, possibly making his way in public domains. According to AP, he said about this possibility: “It would be absolutely disastrous for these race teams if their competitive cars, drivers were able to detect sponsorship on salary and all revenue sections.”
Another major thread this month is the fate of 23xi and FRM charters. He is in danger of losing him after a recent decision, which chose to save the initial prohibition, which allowed him to keep the charters, while the case comes out. They are appealing to that decision in the final-khai attempt to save their charters, but it is possible that they may lose them in the middle of 2025 seasons.
